Chapter 29: Unheralded gazes and battles.
Tyson has prepared well to leave and now he is currently taking shower after arranging his suite. He could feel the shower washing his tired self as the drippling voice of water droplets echoes beautifully. After dressing up in a formal white shirt and blue jeans, he keeps his jacket aside, attempting to carry alongside and use it in case it gets chilled. He feels a little sweaty still, but he himself is confused why he has this constant sneezing since yesterday.
He climbs downstairs and grabs his coffee and vegetable sandwich and locks his home and keeps the key safely and walks towards the main road. He glances at his watch as he walks and he notices that he have quite of time so his mind battles if he should rush to airport or to a nearby hospital first to take a few tablets for his constant sneezing. He chooses the latter as his tissues are depleting and he calls the taxi,
"Can you take me to the nearest hospital?" he asks as he rubs his nose drowsily. The driver blinks but nods. Tyson is almost like not aware of the world and he keeps on sneezing.
"C-Can you please switch off the AC?" Tyson asks. The driver obeys and within fifteen minutes they are in front of a huge medical college and Tyson hands a few coins to the driver before he lousily makes his way towards the hospital.
"This place seems familiar," he thinks to himself as he keeps on rubbing his nose and wiping his tears,
After a few minutes, his name is called and he stands up to head to the Doctor's cabin. His eyes are slightly heavy and he looks at his suitcase which he is keeping at the entryway.
He shrugs and turns his head to continue treading towards the cabin, when he suddenly clashes against someone,
"Excuse me, "he says immediately as he looks up at the person who's standing in front of him equally irritated and perplexed. Ashlene's eyes almost widen.
Their eyes look for sometimes and the time seems to stop. They seem frozen, stupefied and time-locked as they gaze at each other and before any of them could say anything,
"Is Tyson Granger there? Would you please like to come in if you're unwell?" A voice shouts and Tyson immediately heads in. Ashlene break from her trance suddenly.
"Ashlene, I told you five minutes back that Dr. James is calling you urgently for emergency!" Fred nearly yelled and Ashlene heaved as if she saw a ghost and her face's color was draining.
….
"Your chief complaint?" The nurse asked him as the Doctor put his call on end,
"I've severe sneezing," he said and he was almost like, still perturbed from his incident with Ashlene,
"Fine. Do you've hysteria too? You look so pale and almost white. Are you serious you didn't see any ghost around here?" the Doctor laughingly smiled and prescribed him two tablets.
"No…" Tyson said in a low tone,
"Might be he saw a cadaver and got scared," The nurse rolled his eyes,
Tyson was sweating profusely and seems to be lost in his thoughts.
"Tyson, you okay?" The Doctor asked quite worriedly,
"Sorry, I just remembered something very important. Thanks for the medicines," Tyson stood abruptly and left the hospital after he took the medicines from the medical store.

Daichi looked horrified and implausible and he grinded his teeth. He looked at Nyhan, who also gave a nervous laughter and clenched his teeth,
"What the f-"
Max was cut off when Brad yelled, "And it's over, within the first few seconds of this battle, it already ends. This is a tie!"
"How the hell was that supposed to happen! They didn't even made a single move" Kenny said shaking his head,
"They basically launched their blades and, and it ends in a tie?" Max asked unbelievably,
Daichi stomped towards them. "That blade, I don't even know the name of his bit beast but I'm sure it's VERY strong," Daichi mocked, "Kenny! My blade was modified with newest gears and blade cover and yet, here it is," Daichi handed his blade crassly to Kenny, "Looks like an ordinary one now!" Daichi seethed and plummeted in his seat,
"Hey, it's okay, I'm going next. We'll be fine, okay," Ray assured,
Daichi rolled his eyes and was full of irritation and unsatisfactory demeanor.
"And the next battle commences now! Hopefully this will last at least for minutes. Don't bore us, you guys," Brad yelled, a little humbly this time,
"So, please welcome, Julyan from Red Scorchers and Ray from G-Revs!"
"Hey, hi," Julyan smiled, his cobalt hair, ever so clean and elegant,
"Aww, he looks so cute!" Ray could hear few voices but he ignored,
"Bladers, are you ready!"
"3, 2 and 1!"
Both the bladers launched their blades in the cuboidal bey-dish, the floor's both halves slanted into a groove at center of dish, which seems to be the draining line. Before they could think what this was all about, a gush of water rushed from both sides with vigor and drained into the groove. The dish was clean once again with scarce water traces.
"Wow," Ray and Julyan both moved back in amazement
Ray's blade was on the right half of the dish near the edge, and the same was for Shingle on the left half. Drigger and Shingle trotted towards the center with acceleration due to downward sloping of the floor and clashed at the groove briefly before they went to the opposite halves, respectively.
"This looks easy," Lyan smirked,
"Julyan, don't end this fast. Please, I want some show," Lyan said with shining eyes,
Ray looked glaringly at Julyan and Julyan only smiled at him before both the blades ferociously headed towards each other towards the groove. The slopes seemed to be dug a little due to the vigor and momentum the blades were moving with. As the blades approached the groove, the water gushed from the edges and splashed at the blades draining in the groove. Both the blades retrograded a little but balanced, and this was followed by fierce clashing and pushing. Drigger kept on attacking Shingle with all might and Shingle was pushed back with rapid constancy backwards and Nyhan had a hard time balancing and staying cool.
"Good job, Ray! Continue!" Max cheered,
"Drigger, keep it up!" Ray shouted,
"Argh," Nyhan barely seethed,
"Shingle, what are you doi-" Julyan balanced off as a huge, HUGE splash of water made its way again and both the blades lost balance. Drigger quickly floated on water and started circling to create something. The water would have built up whirl but it was drained in the groove a little quicker.
"Bad luck," Julyan smirked smugly,
"We will see about that very soon," The Chinese guy groaned,
"Drigger! Thunder lightning!" Ray said in full confidence. Nyhan rolled his eyes and laughed,
"C'mon, you're not a fool, at least not up to here," Julyan was busy with his style of saying when the lightning shock shook him and Shingle.
"Ouch,"
"Sure, that's more than an ouch," Ray smiled.
The lightning hit Shingle continually and it struggled escaping it. The dish was vibrating and both the bladers got the signal that the water was about to come once again.
"No…" Julyan said horrified,
The lightning continued to hit Shingle and seeming nothing was an option right now, Shingle moved towards the groove and the water gushed horrendously from the edges and Drigger sent the lightning, sending currents in the entire water.
Julyan looked worried and draining off and Shingle was vibrating out of energy. The water was there for a larger fraction of time from before and till that time, the currents were very strong and they drained off Shingle,
"Shit," Julyan sweatdropped,
"Now, relax. This is just the start," Ray said coolly,
"W-What?"
"Drigger! Final Thunder Lightning!" Ray roared summoning his full energy,
"Ray stop!" Kai yelled suddenly. Before Ray would turn to listen him, Julyan smirked,
"Shingle, Steel Snow!" Julyan demanded very triumphantly and Shingle launched itself in snow that hardened very toughly, almost like steel. The thunder lightning was shot and it clashed against the snow enveloped Shingle. Ray gasped when the lightning reflected from the snow and hit Drigger back with huge momentum.
Drigger was thrown from the dish into the air and as it soared, Ray's hopes were shattering.
"No…"
Ray was losing hope when another gush of water with high tides came in and threw Drigger back in dish.
Julyan's eyes widened in shock and his snow sealed blade was losing its protection. Drigger used his Lightning and the water filed dish sent huge electric currents and Shingle struggled to balance.
Even before the water drained off, Shingle was already losing. After a full minute, when the water drained, Ray was the clear victor standing with an only spinning Drigger.
"Wow!" Kenny and Max were bewildered,
"And it's over! Ray wins this battle! It was a legendary battle, an awesome match! Ray deserves this victory!" Brad yelled deafeningly in euphoria,
"Well, I didn't see this victory coming, honestly," Kai declared and offered a brief smile to Ray,
Ray nodded, "Hey guys,"
"Ray, it WAS Awesome!" Max and Daichi launched at him and it was a movement of rejoice. "That was an unexpected outcome of the battle!"
"Agree!" Everyone said including Kai.
"Well, you tried, but I guess, this was it," Nyhan tried cheering a down-casted Julyan, "I guess there will be a tie-breaking match for our victory as round 4," Nyhan declared with a sneer,
"I will win this battle, trust me," Lyan promised.
"And I will win the round 4 too," Nyhan said with deep smirk, "No matter who battles against me, damn"

"Ashlene, you can leave." Dr. James sighed as he folded his apron coat and prepared to order his food. Ashlene nodded and began to leave. She seemed disturbed. She sat on the waiting bench outside and looked down. Pictures of an hour back clashed her mind. She could continually remember that clash with Tyson and she was not very much pleased about it.
She tried forgetting but there was no way she was going to forget him. The smart guy who lacks manners huh.
She smirked and got up. Life goes on.
She headed to home with Fred accompanying her in the walk. The walk was presumably silent and comfortable. The clouds were soothingly moving, and the sky had been a little darker shade of blue.
"Phew, so did you signed for the Stipend?" Fred asked,
"Huh," Ashlene nodded,
"Is everything okay? You look a little disturbed." Fred mentioned,
"I'm alright, just met an old friend," Ashlene gave a brief hint of nostalgia,

"Are you okay, Hils," Delia gulped as she saw a fuming Hilary cursing under her breath, "You seem like you could kill anyone any second,"
"What?" Hilary spat, "That brat. That Tyson Granger had the nerve to lose his title to Kai this year! What the hell can he be alright with that? That dense idiot!" Hilary shot,
"What?'' Delia shook her head, "Are you serious? Seriously? The world champion Ty-"
"Yeah yeah!" Hilary slammed the door and walked out, "I definitely need some air, for sure," she walked out.
Delia walked back to hostel during the lunch hour and she switched on TV purposely to disturb Margot. She smirked as she did so,
"Hey, look who's on TV! Nyhan there!" Delia smiled in euphoria,
"Nyhan!" Margot jolted up, "Ow, I see that excitement on your face,"
"Why isn't he bey-battling?" Delia whined,
"Because he doesn't want you to see him. You might be so jealous," Margot said playfully,
"Oh shut up," Delia rolled her eyes,
"Hey, what's going on," Hilary entered and was turning the door knob. Delia immediately shut the TV seeing that Hilary might fume up again.
"Hey, what was that for!" Margot shot,
"Just keep quiet, Hila-"Delia tried to explain in a low tone quickly,
"What?'' Hilary raised an eyebrow,
"Ahha, Hils," Margot rose and snaked an arm around Hilary, "Deles was watching someone, you know, that someone, that someone, on TV," Margot said with mischievous eyes,
"Who?" Hilary asked cluelessly,
"Nyhan, darling," Margot laughed,
"What?" Hilary yelled, "The battles are life-casted! I forgot. Open up!" Hilary yelped,
Margot was a little shocked but Delia gave that 'I told you so' look.
"The match started! It's Lyan VS Kai!" Hilary mentioned as she stared hard at the TV screen, "A-and its round three. What the fuck is Tyson doing?"
"Hilary! What's wrong?" Margot asked as she nearly gulped in fear,
"How do you know about Nyhan's team?" Delia asked,
"Nyhan told me," Hilary said mundanely,
"What… he told you?" Delia asked in hope,
"Girls look, Kai is not giving up, and he is constantly beating up Lyan's blade!" Hilary jabbed her finger in air towards the screen,
"Hils, what did he told," Delia was nervous and curious,
"He told about his teammates, Delia," Hilary said quickly,
"Hilary! You saw that!" Margot gasped,
"Shit, Kai's blade will be thrown out any minute! What's Kenny doing there!" Hilary yelled, "I knew it! Tyson should have battled instead!" Hilary slammed the chair rest,
Hilary stood up and dialed Kenny's number quickly to shoot him with questions and advises,
.

"You will be over soon, Kai. Nyhan will play round 4 as tie-breaking match and yeah, he WILL win it and Red Scorchers will be the new champion team!" Lyan licked his lips in excitement,
"Pribnow, torture him more," Lyan said maliciously. Kai's eyes widened. Everything seemed to be finishing. . .
